21

Well, I don't have much to post about today, but I just thought I would share with you that as of this past Monday, I am 21!!!!!!!!!!!! I celebrated my birthday at home with my family. Yes, in the new house. It was so fun and relaxing and I am glad I got to share this special time with my family! Here are a few pictures of the cake my mom made. My sister Theresa and I are 4 years and 1 day apart, so we always have our birthday celebration together. (Hints the 21-17 candle arrangement my sister, Ashton, thought of haha) The cake was delicious! It was a raspberry lemonade cake with raspberry jell-o mixed in throughout. The frosting was a combination of cool whip and whipped vanilla frosting. mmmm. Then, my mom added the cute swirls on top. She's the best :)

Ashton's crafty candle arrangement ;)

Happy Birthday to me and Theresa!!

The precious banner my best friend/roomie Allison made for me. I wish I was as crafty as she is!!

New kitchen gadgets from Kathryn, my other wonderful roommate!! Hopefully you will be seeing alot of these soon ;)

Well, long story short. My grandmother has been buying me place settings of Franciscan Desert Rose china since she found out I liked it last year. Allison found these adorable salt/pepper shakers in the same pattern. Have you ever seen anything as cute???

Well, that's it for today. Hope you have been more put together this short week than I have. I loved the holiday, but it definitely caused me to be a bit overwhelmed for the rest of this week. I will have a recipe for you soon!!
